Pros

1. No micromanagement so far 2. Work life balance 3. New Tech stack 4. Free Food in office 5. You can take leaves no questions asked 6. Freedom to put your ideas and work on them 7. In office activities/ games/ celebrations/ offsite(once in a year) are awesome

Cons

1. Slowly moving towards service based organisation like culture e.g. internal politics in some teams, deserving people not always get promoted/rewarded because rotation based reward is happening in some teams 2. Management is harsh sometimes in taking decisions like WFO(3 days), deducting leaves if not followed.

Pros

I've had a very positive experience working at DT. The leadership team is approachable, transparent, and genuinely invested in both the company’s mission and its people. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by my team and cross-functional partners. One of the biggest strengths of DT is its collaborative culture. Everyone is encouraged to share ideas, take initiative, and contribute to meaningful projects. Management listens to feedback and is proactive about creating a healthy work-life balance, including flexible hours and work from home options where applicable. Career growth is also a real focus here. There are regular opportunities for training, mentorship,hackathons, tech conferences and internal mobility. If you're motivated and take ownership of your work, your efforts are recognized and rewarded. Overall, DT is a great place to work if you're looking for a positive environment, smart colleagues, and room to grow.

Cons

Fast-paced environment may not suit everyone (but great if you enjoy learning and adapting)
